The Movirtu investment is expected to benefit mainly women in rural communities in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Low-income women in these regions are up to 21 percent less likely to have mobile phone access than men, according to the 2010 estimates from the global mobile operator association GSMA.

On average, Movirtu expects phone customers to save an estimated $60 a year on phone charges incurred from shared phones.
